1. The MINOX BL Line in HD
The robust lightweights with Comfort Bridge
MINOX presents the new generation of the BL
binoculars with innovative HD glass and
completely new optics.
The powerful optical systems comprise multi-
coated lenses that guarantee the highest
optical performance and neutral colour rendi-
tion of the subject in view.The lenses are also
equipped with an innovative HD glass with
anomalous partial dispersion, ensuring further
improved colour correction and a higher light
transmission. The user enjoys a better image
with perfect detail rendition and high contrast
even in poor light conditions.
The MINOX BL Line are characterised by
exceptionally low weight (only 650 g /
BL 8x33 HD). The robust housing is rubber
coated and ergonomically designed. New BL
models are guaranteed to be waterproof to a
depth of 5 meters. Nitrogen gas purging
prevents fogging in temperature fluctuations.
Twist-type retractable rubber eyecups with
individual click stops are provided on all
models; for spectacle users, extendible exit
pupil eye-pieces ensure that the complete field
of vision remains without any shadowing
effects.
The new BL HD binoculars are finished by hand
and subjected to rigorous quality control
inspections before leaving the main factory in
Wetzlar, Germany.
The scope of delivery of the new BL-HD bin-
oculars includes a neoprene strap and an
ever-ready case.
The following models of the MINOX BL Line
are available from specialist dealers: 8x33,
8x44, 10x44, 8x52 and 10x52.
